Re: Velocity PID(F) Best Practices - To Integrate, or Not To Integrate?

This is totally reasonable, and in practice you need an integrator if your loop rate is slow or you are concerned about the effects of rapid oscillation on the lifetime of your mechanical components.

e_ss approaches zero as Kp approaches infinity, and the closed-loop transfer function is stable for all positive values of Kp.
